PHILADELPHIA -- Geoff Collins stood at a podium and endeared himself to Temple and his new city with stories about childhood trips to Philadelphia Flyers games and lessons his dad handed down from John Chaney.The Georgia native painted himself so much as one of Phillys own, that its amazing Collins didnt confess he was named with two fs in honor of the Temple Tuff motto.Collins, a Florida defensive coordinator, didnt just desire to become a head coach, he insisted. He specifically wanted to coach Temple.And why not?The Owls have long shed their stained reputation as the worst football program in Division I and have become a winning team that competes for conference titles and plays in low-tiered bowl games.With a room full of students wearing Mayhem is Coming, T-shirts, Collins asked rhetorically: Whats next?The better question may be, what more can any coach accomplish at Temple?The Owls have peaked as a program heading into the Dec. 27 Military Bowl with back-to-back 10-win seasons and a spot in the AP Top 25. The Owls are the American Athletic Conference champions and coach Matt Rhule cashed in with a new job at Baylor in the Big 12. The Owls could run the table and still always be on the outside of playing in a major bowl game. Big picture, none of the teams outside of the Power Five are contending for playoff spots without a lot of unlikely circumstances.It has not done all it can do, Temple Athletic Director Pat Kraft said Wednesday. Weve got to keep building the momentum. We win conference championships. We want to be nationally ranked, consistently. There is so much in front of us.Collins, 45, is out to prove he can lead his own program as well as he orchestrated frenzied defenses at Florida and Mississippi State that earned him the Minister of Mayhem nickname.Hes charged with ensuring the Owls dont slip back into oblivion much like they were headed in the final season of Steve Addazios two-year stint. Rhule, a longtime Temple assistant, returned from a one-year stop in the NFL to save the program and lead the Owls to their greatest successes in an otherwise futile history.Rhule accomplished feats like an upset of Penn State, a nationally televised home game against Notre Dame that brought ESPNs GameDay to Philly and Temples first conference title since 1967 all without a campus stadium.The schools drive for a 35,000-seat stadium appears to be stalled. The $126 million plan has generated controversy since February, when Temples board of trustees approved a feasibility study, hired architects and tore down apartments on university land near campus.Its in the boards hands, Kraft said.Heres the best Collins can hope for at Temple: Just keep the program at the top of the AAC.Thats the goal, contend and make a bowl every year.It will be hard for Temple to year in and year out keep up with the Florida schools in the AAC East because of resources and recruiting. It would be remarkable if Collins can keep the program at this level.Rhule can offer Collins tips on how to build a winner on North Broad.Collins and Rhule forged a close friendship when they coached on the same staff at Division III Albright College in Reading, Pennsylvania in the 1990s. Rhule constructed the championship formula at Temple and Collins said he doesnt want to stray too much from what worked.I want to meet with every single person in that building, Collins said.But he still has unfinished business before he starts his handshake tour.Collins is set to return to Gainesville, Florida and decide with coach Jim McElwain if hell stay for Floridas Jan. 2 Outback Bowl game against Iowa. Collins and his wife are putting the finishing touches on adopting a child.Collins held a private team meeting before his press conference -- where he refused to say he would pledge to recruits that hed stick around for all four seasons. But for a day, Temple wasnt worried where Collins will be in four years because he was with the Owls today.We found the right guy, Kraft said.

AUBURN, Ala. -- Auburn Tigers quarterback Sean White re-injured his shoulder against Georgia, and coach Gus Malzahn is unsure if hell be available Saturday against Alabama A&M.Hes day-to-day, week-to-week, Malzahn said.?Well play him when hes healthy.White, the SECs most accurate passer heading into the Georgia game, did not leave the game after suffering the injury and finished 6-of-20 for 27 yards. On the first play of the second half, he threw an interception that was returned for Georgias only touchdown of the game. It only got worse as the Tigers failed to convert a first down the entire second half.Still, the coaches opted not to turn to backup John Franklin III.He got us here, Malzahn said of White. Hes had an excellent year. We knew he wasnt 100 percent, but it was a close game and he wanted to be in there. And I know his teammates wanted him to be in thhere.ddddddddddddObviously, we couldnt find a way to score in the second half. But hes a tough guy. Hes one of our leaders.White told reporters Sunday that he could have done a better job letting the coaches know the extent of his injury, but that he wanted to stay in and try to win the game.Just being a competitor, I wanted to win (and) I wanted to be out there playing, White said. I dont know if I really let them know how bad it was hurting me. Thats on me and I have to do a better job of just being honest.Malzahn did confirm that Kamryn Pettway, Auburns leading rusher, will miss his second straight game Saturday. The Tigers will also be without fellow running back Stanton Truitt, H-back Chandler Cox and wide receive
